History repeats itself as Miss Universe committed another blunder. This time, on the winner of the National Costume competition.
But Steve Harvey had it right.
In a recent post on Twitter, the Miss Universe Organization confirmed that Miss Universe Philippines bet Gazini Ganados is the winner of the 2019 National Costume competition and not Shweta Sekhon of Malaysia.
The announcement came after Harvey gained so much memes online over the snafu.
During the announcement, Harvey immediately clarified that he was only reading what’s on the teleprompter.
“You keep doing this to me,” he quipped and quickly apologised afterwards.
“Steve Harvey had it right: Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados is the winner of the Miss Universe 2019 National Costume competition! Congratulations, Gazini,” Miss Universe Organization posted on Twitter.

Gazini deserve a moment to receive her award.? To be fair, I think it’s not Steve Harvey’s fault this time.

She was on stage during that time as one of the top 20 contestants. So, she probably had no time to change for natcos because of that.

Steve announced it right during the show. He said Ms Philippines won the NatCos Award but because she was included in the Top 20 and cant wear the costume for an interview, they just invited Malaysia onstage to kind of show her costume too. Maybe she was the 1st runner up

But they shouldn't have done that. They could say she won 2nd place! We Malaysians are going crazy for the win now we're heartbroken.

Exactly!!!! Malaysia was just there to showcase it for the liveshow but doesn’t mean that she won
